If you're hoping for a Friends reunion, Jennifer Aniston won't be there for you.

Talking on the first episode of The Thrive Global Podcast, she reckons that the show just wouldn't work in today's world of smartphones.

"We were jokingly saying that if Friends was created today, you would have a coffee shop full of people that were just staring into iPhones. There would be no actual episodes or conversations," Aniston explained.

And you only need to step into your nearest Starbucks (other coffee shops exist too) to know she's right about that.

"There was something about a time when our faces weren't shoved into cellphones and we weren't checking Facebook and Instagram. We were in a room together, or in a coffee shop together and we've lost that," she said last December on Lorraine.

Not that Aniston is against using technology as she also revealed on the podcast that she finds it hard to pull herself away from her phone: "And even if you do, it's half-assed. You're kind of there, kind of not, and I'm not getting the benefits of what I could be getting that I usually do."

"What's it going to be about? Really, how is it going to work? This is what everybody is forgetting. They no longer hang out at the coffee house, they have all moved away. Chandler and Monica live upstate, Phoebe and Mike, probably the same," she noted.

"It would be great [if it happened]. It would be a lot of fun. But even just from a logistical purpose, it would never work because everyone is on a totally ridiculous work schedule."
